Zac Brown Band will be on the road a lot in 2020 as the “Roar with the Lions Tour,” presented by Polaris, is set to run from May to October, hot on the heels of the spring leg of “The Owl Tour.” Gregory Alan Isakov will be coming along for the first month of “Roar with the Lions” as a special guest.
Zamily Fan Club members get a presale Jan. 14 at noon local time. Citi cardholders get a presale Jan. 15 at 10 a.m. The general onsale begins Jan. 17 at a.m. The full routing is posted below.
Regarding the tour name, Brown said in a statement: ““Our summer tour is inspired by the folklore surrounding the figure of the lion. I am a Leo, and all of the guys in the band are lions.”
“They exemplify strength, courage, intelligence, and loyalty, and work in tandem to defend their territory and one another. The crowd is our pride – rooted in togetherness and fiercely loyal. They always show up for each other, no matter what, just like our fans always show up for us. We can’t wait to hear you roar with us!”
ZBB already had several months of dates lined up for the spring leg of “The Owl Tour,” which originally began in 2019. Last year was a big year for the band as it came in at No. 34 on the Year End Top 200 North American tours chart, with $43 million grossed and 705,721 tickets reported.
In addition to the big touring numbers the group proved it can still move units, as it came in at No. 1 on the Elite 100 Artists chart for the week ending Sept. 26 after the release of its latest album, The Owl. The group sold 115,500 albums in a week and logged 19.9 million on-demand streams.
The group signed with WME in March last year, and is managed by Scooter Braun’s SB Projects
